I have never, ever been one to let myself think about Christmas before Thanksgiving. That is, until this year. Personally, I blame Pinterest! And Michael Buble for his oh-so-smooth Christmas album…it’s about time he graced us with a Christmas album, and it’s not my fault it came out in November. :)
One thing I’m getting extra excited for is Christmas shopping, not only because I love picking out presents for people, but because I love wrapping gifts as well. I’ve been wrapping presents on behalf of my dad and little brother for ages, and in the past year or so, I’ve been having more fun with it by adding cute ribbons and tags. This year, I plan to go all out thanks to some fabulous inspiration I’ve been stumbling upon! Here are some of my favorite ideas.
{Big colorful bows via Oh Lovely Day}
{Newspaper and oversized initial gift tags, via The Crafting Chicks}
{Romantic and unexpected color combinations, like blush and gold, via Designsgirl}
{Doilies and red patterned ribbon, via decor8}
{Graphic black and white stripes, via House & Home}
{Kraft paper and glitter ribbon, via Besotted Brand}
I also compiled a few of my favorite must-haves, from gift-wrapping heaven, aka Paper Source:
{1. Urban Snowflakes Wrapping Paper 2. Candy Cane Duct Tape 3. Assorted Letterpress Holiday Tags 4. Gold Glitter Wrapping Paper}
And if you’re stuck on what to put inside all this pretty wrapping paper, my friend Lena on La Petite Coquin is doing a gift guide this week, and I know it is going to be nothing short of amazing!
Are you letting yourself dream about Christmas quite yet? :)
Love,
Lisa
